Default Backlit panel

The lexan won't machine real well. Look for Plexiglas (acrylic) bits and sheet...

Well, for what it's worth, I bought the boat today, so this project is a go.

I think the annunciator question resolved itself as being impractical as I
had envisioned it. So it will probably just be a seperate panel with a stack of
back-lit blocks placed through the panel.

As for the rest; switch labels, panel legends, etc, I remember seeing some
translucent white in the scrap box at the Plastic Shoppe. I'll get some
small pieces and of that and some clear Lexan and start experimenting with them.

Thanks,


Richard
